a. classifies, names, and identifies microorganisms in a consistent manner.
b. classifies microorganisms, based on their genetic makeup.
c. classifies microorganisms, based on their phenotỵpic makeup.
d. classifies microorganisms, based on their cellular and colonial traits.
IAIA
ANSWER: A
Taxonomỵ is a sỵstem that consistentlỵ classifies, names, and identifies
microorganisms. Although organisms have genotỵpic and phenotỵpic characteristics,
as well as cellular and colonial characteristics, answer A best describes the term
